Q: Not With a Bang, but a Whimper

AranlydeThe final answer is a single word. January 18 The world ended today. Not with a bang, but a whimper–it sounds so cliché, but it's the only way to describe what happened. All our preparations were for naught because the elite team we assembled to fight for us were too busy playing around inste...

@boboquack any idea why someone would set up a bot here?
 
@EricTressler doubt it's an actual bot
For those curious:
A football is a ball inflated with air that is used to play one of the various sports known as football. In these games, with some exceptions, goals or points are scored only when the ball enters one of two designated goal-scoring areas; football games involve the two teams each trying to move the ball in opposite directions along the field of play. The first balls were made of natural materials, such as an inflated pig bladder, later put inside a leather cover, which has given rise to the American slang-term "pigskin". Modern balls are designed by teams of engineers to exacting specifications...
 
@boboquack Then I guess it passes the Turing test for 50% of our sample

Q: What to do with this answer?

eliasI recently flagged this answer for moderator attention, because there are many problems with it, and that was my best idea about how to handle that. The answer itself oversimplifies the question, contains some flawed calculations and implements a strategy which in certain cases just won't work. ...

Q: A is to Z as Z is to A. That is the key to OPEN the way

MikeThis riddle was given to me during a game. The four letter answer is a "code" that will unlock a door. Since the word "open" was in caps I'm assuming that is part of the "rules" for figuring out the code. I was going to try writing the alphabet forward and then backwards and match up the letter...

Q: A Shooting Target with 9 shots

OrayYou are a soldier in the army, and the commander is testing his soldiers for their shots. But the commander is also a mathematician and would like to test not only your shooting ability but also your intelligence. To do that, before you shot, he brings the shooting target to you which consists of...

I have 159 bronze badges and, er, 10 helpful flags.
So my money's on coincidence :-).
 
11:15 PM
I found a cool game while i was browsing wikipedia
 
@GarethMcCaughan and I've got 65 bronze and 533 flags ;)
And over on SFF, 127 vs. 1838. I think we can safely assume that it's a coincidence ;)
 
11:48 PM
@DestructibleLemon ha, I remember trying to make a variant of this like 5 years ago
it never really went anywhere though, I think only one full game of it was ever actually played
 
also i found an online client that maybe I could refer you to so we could play it now?
 
got nothing better to do :P
(well, actually I do, but it's extremely unlikely that I'll make any progress on my history paper today anyway)
 
gotta get that referral bonus y'know :)
tell me your username when you join so i can invite you to a game
 
sorry one sec it's not letting me create an account (keeps saying "Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'ICQ' at row 1" even when I put 0 for that)
 
i just put in 000

shortening of KeyboardFire since there's an upper bound of 10 on length
 
they emailed my password to me in plain text, how wonderful
 
yeah
i think they mentioned that
but also it's like...
it's a little game implementation on the internet
i wouldn't expect it to have super cool security
 
11:59 PM
it's not difficult to store passwords properly :P
anyway there's a bigger issue which is that I can't actually log in
 
apparently you don't exist yet
typo?
